Bloopers and Outtakes – Playing with Video


Purely just bloopers and outtakes. This video was completely shot with my Nikon D3. I blasted away at 8fps and then threw it together for motion. The song you hear is Epic from local band and bro’s, On Call Heroes. They’re about to go record their second album, so go check them out. I hope to do more stuff like this in the future. It’s a really cool way of shooting video in my opinion.

Thanks to my friends for being the subjects, yet again, in one of my little projects. It would’ve been really boring without people in the video. Also, thanks to the band for the music. Again, really boring without it.

New Laforet Movie Posted by Canon, Then Taken Down

Canon needs to get their act together. They just released the Canon 1d MkIV. Or, just 1d4. Seriously how do they expect people to understand which camera is which? I still don’t know the difference between Canon’s 1d2 and 1d3 are.

You may remember when the 5dMkII or 5d2 came out with 1080p video that there was a video posted by director/photographer Vincent Laforet. It was called Reverie. It was quick, to the point and a very expensive short. I liked it. And it was the first video of it’s kind to be shot on an still camera. Now, we have hundreds of great videos out there all shot on SLR cameras. One of my favourite at the moment is by a photographer in Atlanta, USA. Andrew Kornylak did a whole series on bouldering and rock climbing where he shot interviews with the Nikon D5000 and then did still-video with the Nikon D3 by just blasting away and getting a cool, stop motion like feel.

Moving Wood


Just something I did the other day to try and inspire myself. It’s not fancy or finished. It’s only about a minute long and there is no message or meaning for it. The only reason for it is that it inspired me to pick up my camera (well, put it on a tripod at least). During the last year at school, I felt like I had so much creative juice (I was a ripe fruit?). Recently, however, I feel like that lemon in your ice tea at the restaurant, all the juice has been squeezed out and now it just haphazardly floats just below the ice.

Video

This has been out for a while but it’s a video that Wired.com did about photography. Specifically, street photography using a natural light. I found on the strobist blog about a week ago and I feel that if you don’t read that blog, and you’re a photographer, you should. If you haven’t seen it here it is.

Click here if you are using a reader to view this post, so you can view the video. I hope you enjoyed that video, I’m going to have to get out the scrim and head downtown to try a little of this out.

What the F**K is Social Media?

I was browsing through twitter this evening and came across a really cool slide show. It talks all about social media and how companies (and consumers) should be using it to have conversations and not to just blast out useless information that we could get from a more mainstream (read: old school) venue such as T.V. or radio. Here’s the link to the blog I found it at courtesy of @stephenbaugh. I encourage everyone who reads this to go through it. It’s 80-something slides but it only takes about 5 minutes and it’s full of awesome facts about social media. While you’re at it, go check out the customer-company pact as well.

–edit–

Here’s the actual slideshow!
